MONROE, MICHIGAN | [7] Born 1850 and Still Growing 
ee 
Rhode Island Greening (Bushee). The parent tree of this Stayman’s Winesap (Coffing). This strain is a selection from 
strain produced annual crops beginning the second year after 
planting. Coupled with the unusually early bearing habit 
there is a very vigorous tree growth. The fruit is typical of 
the variety, being one of our finest green Apples. The fruit is 
very large, fine-grained, uniform in shape and size. For 
culinary purposes this variety is unsurpassed. The flesh is 
tender, very juicy and the flavor is rich and pleasing. Season, 
December to March. 
Rome Beauty (See Gallia Beauty, a better, improved variety). 
Russet. (The Genuine Old Fashioned Golden Russet.) The 
exquisite flavor and deliciousness of the old-fashioned Russet 
Apple has never been forgotten by thousands of men and 
women who remember this fine old variety from their child- 
hood days. They canrecall how way late in the Winter when 
all other fruit was gone the Russet was in its prime—how, 
as the Winter advanced, the Russets became more and more 
delicious . . . Greening’s have brought back this old favorite 
and can now furnish the genuine old-fashioned Golden Russet 
of the same quality. The fruit becomes a golden brown and 
the fruit is picked and stored when still hard. It ripens and 
increases its flavor in storage keeping far into the Winter, often 
to the following Spring. Trees are vigorous growers and early 
bearers, hardy in any locality. 
Solid Red Delicious (Evarts). 
This variety is like Delicious in 
every respect excepting that it 
has added color. As the name 
implies, this is a solid red, highly 
colored Delicious. It is recom- 
mended especially for locations 
where Delicious does not have 
sufficient color. The tree is 
hardy, healthy, vigorous and 
bears regular annual crops. 
Flesh is fine-grained, crisp, 
melting and juicy. Quality is 
very good and the season is 
November to March. 
Solid Red McIntosh (Farley 
No. 5). This ‘‘Bud Selected” solid 
Red McIntosh is the answer to 
the desire of fruit growers for 
this popular variety in its most 
attractive form. Combined with 
added color is good production 
and uniformity of shape. The 
added attractiveness we have 
given this now popular variety 
means increased profits for the 
orchardist. The fruit is large, 
highly aromatic. Color is a solid 
brilliant crimson. Quality is the 
very best. Season, November 
to February. 
Solid Red McIntosh (Smith). 
This is another solid red McIn- 
tosh selection. Over one-half of 
the trees in this orchard produce 
only striped Apples. Propagating 
buds for this strain were taken 
from the other trees in which the more desirable red type pre- 
dominated. In other respects this is a true type McIntosh. 
Solid Red Spy (Stuart). The parent tree was in full bearing 
during the twelfth year at which our records started on this 
strain. This fact proves that this particular strain came into 
bearing very young. As the name signifies it is a solid red 
type. This strain colors early in the season and has an abun- 
dance of color, making it preferable for locations where 
Northern Spys do not color well. It is highly attractive and 
will create a strong demand on any market. In other respects, 
this is a true type Northern Spy. 
Steele’s Red Top-grafted (Sometimes called Canada Red or 
Red Canada). A long-keeping market Apple with excellent 
color. This variety is unsurpassed, brings $1.00 to $2.00 per 
barrel more than any other Apple. The fruit is well formed, 
very fine grained, juicy, aromatic and agreeably sub-acid. The 
size of fruit medium to large, shapely, uniform, cone-shaped. 
In color, a beautiful deep red, striped with deeper red on a 
background of yellow. Sometimes conspicuously marked with 
gray colored dots. Flesh whitish with yellow or greenish tints, 
firm, crisp, rather fine grained, agreeable sub-acid flavor. The 
quality is of the best—very valuable for commercial purposes. 
The only drawback to this variety has been its slow growth, 
but by the Greening method of top-grafting it in the nursery, 
on a hardy, fast growing stem and French crab root, we have 
completely overcome the slow growing characteristics. By top- 
grafting it will come into bearing as quickly as any good 
standard variety of Apples. Fruit growers who have planted 
it have been able to reap large profits and our demand for 
this type of tree is greatly increasing. 
NORTHERN SPY 
(Farley No. 9) 
One of our outstanding achievements in bud 
selection. This remarkable parent tree is a com- 
bination of the following factors which we wish to 
reproduce in Northern Spy orchards, a strong, vig- 
orous tree, early bearing, heavy annual produc- 
tion, large size in fruit and an attractive typical 
striped color type. This parent tree produced a 
full crop of nearly twelve bushels when only nine 
years old and a total of 141 bushels by the end of 
the sixteenth season. The fact that this tree pro- 
duced twelve bushels when only nine years old, 
shows that it must have come into bearing at not 
more than six years after planting for a Spy tree 
always bears a few Apples the first year and con- 
tinues to increase in production each year. This 
record speaks for itself. It requires no added com- 
ments. The fruit is large and extremely attractive. 
Color, bright red with indistinct stripings. Flesh, 
very juicy, crisp and tender and most excellent 
foi either dessert or culinary use. Season November 
to March. See also Solid Red Spy. 
Distance apart—20x20 feet.......... 
the orchard of Coffing Brothers in Indiana, who are reputed 
to grow the finest Stayman Winesaps in the country. The tree 
is very productive, produces fruit uniform in size and of splen- 
did quality. The color is greenish yellow completely covered 
with dull mixed red and indistinctly splashed with carmine, 
red prevailing. Flesh slightly greenish tinged with yellow, 
moderately fine grained, tender, moderately crisp, juicy, aro- 
matic and mildly sub-acid. Tree is vigorous grower coming 
into bearing early, a reliable cropper. Season, Dec. to May. 
Tolman Sweet (Wark). Best late keeping sweet Apple. 
Large, vigorous, hardy trees. Fruit medium in size, pale 
yellow, usually marked with one or more narrow green 
stripes. Firm flesh, fine grained, juicy and sweet. Season, 
December to February. 
Turley (Turley Winesap) (Coffing Bros.). The Turley is 
gradually winning its way solely on its merits. The va- 
riety originated in Indiana and is much esteemed by the 
growers of that state as a commercial Apple. The tree is 
vigorous and bears fruit early—in 5 or 6 years from date 
of planting. The fruit is very red and inclined to be large. 
Season just before Stayman’s Winesap. 
Wagener (Wark). This selection is typical of the variety and fully 
up to original standards. Comes 
into bearing earlier than most 
varieties. Tree dwarf to medium 
size in growth. Valuable variety 
as a filler in commercial or- 
chards. Fruit medium to rather 
large, color pinkish red, striped 
with carmine over a pale yellow 
background; prevailing color 
light red. Flesh white, fine 
grained, tender and very juicy, 
sub-acid. Quality is very good. 
Season, October to February. 
Wealthy (Nye No. 2). The par- 
ent tree of this strain maintains 
a high standard for the variety. 
It began to bear at an early age 
and produced good annual 
crops of large, uniform Apples 
with normal color for Wealthy. 
In Wealthy orchards, undesir- 
able variations affecting pro- 
duction, uniformity of shape 
and size and also undercolored 
fruits are very common. Fruit 
large size, roundish. Skin is 
smooth, marked with dark red. 
Flesh white, tender, juicy and 
sub-acid. This is one of the 
finest varieties of its season and 
is especially good for commer- 
cial purposes as it comes into 
bearing early. Very profitable 
as a market Apple on account of 
handsome appearance and good 
flavor. Season, Nov. to Jan. 
Wolf River (Wark No. 4). This se- 
lection represents a high aver- 
age with heavy production of very large apples, one of the 
largest Apples grown. Smooth, yellowish white, splashed with 
bright red. Flesh yellowish white, coarse, tender. Flavor me- 
dium. Exceedingly valuable as a baking Apple. Grown especi- 
ally for the restaurant market. Tree very vigorous and in this 
selection we offer trees capable of heavy production whereas 
the ordinary Wolf Rivers are considered only fairly productive. 
Season, November to January. 
Yellow Delicious (Farnsworth). An extraordinary “Bud Se- 
lected’’ development of yellow Apple of Delicious type. Has all 
characteristics of regular Delicious in flesh and flavor. Good 
commercially where yellow Apples are favored and excellent 
for home and local markets. Season, November to February. 
CRAB APPLES 
Crab Apples succeed equally well in all sections. Excellent 
for preserving, jelly and cider. A valuable market fruit. 
Hyslop (Smith No. 1). The best of Crab Apples. This parent 
tree combines in one the money-making qualities of the variety 
with improved color; vigorous, early bearing, heavy annual 
production, large size fruit and a solid red color type. Only 20 
ft. away from this parent tree stands a tree of the striped type. 
Nine years records of the parent tree show a production of 5934 
bushels, the fruit averaging 17g ozs. These figures need no 
further comment as to the superiority of this high type Super- 
Selected Strain of Hyslop Crab. Season, September to October.
